We were on the search for a few specific bird species while in eastern South Africa. They were mainly big (Blue Crane, Common Ostrich, bustards, Secretarybird, etc.), which lead us to staying at a couple of cool spots!

No matter how much you explore the Rio Grande Valley, there is always more to see.

On first glance, Willacy County in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas doesn't have much to offer. The surrounding counties have many more birds and eBird checklists to fill your time. But these country roads are filled with oases and lots of birds.

Birding from the forest floor only gets you a small view of what's going on in the canopy. Forest towers are a great way to see more of the birdlife up and down the trees with hawks and swifts up in the sky, foraging flocks mid-canopy, and woodcreepers below the crown.
